I had a tortoise pair in high school, loved them and wore them for ages until they were lost at sea Don't think I will try them again though, my face is really too small, but I love the look on Sofia so maybe.

OMG, wayfarers! everything comes back,you just need a little patience... in the mid-80s those were the epitome of cool. i was a teenager with an appetite for the "look of the moment" back then, and so the black wayfarers became my first sunglasses. all the "cool" people at school wore those.
well well well. i looked ridiculous in these. won't ever try again.

Thank you for echoing me on this! I had a pair in the late 80's and thought that they were sooooo cool but I just can't do this again! Best of luck to all you undergrads (and younger) who feel this is a fresh trend. They look cute on you!

Wayfarers are so tired. They were fresh at around this time last year but Rachel Bilson is the kiss of death. It's just all the hipsters in NYC trying so hard in thier super-skinny jeans, gross boots, scraggly hair, jackedup looking teeshirt and finally wayfarers. God, I really hate this hipster trend. I want to give them all combs and a full-length mirror.

Wow. Cory Kennedy looks like a heroin addict...In those overalls with that gross early 90's belt...Id give her a quarter and offer her a carrot.

Ew, they're so ugly and unattractive. The only person who pulled them off in this thread was Rachel Bilson, IMO. Everyone else looks desperate for attention. Bob Dylan rocked them and it worked, but sorry, Lindsay Lohan, Mary Kate, Sienna Miller et al are NOT Dylan!

^ they look great on you, the fact that they are the 'small' version has something to do with this..

joining the 'older' group here, they totally remind me of Dylan and my 'rocakbilly queen days'
i never knew the term 'wayfarers', we used to call them raybans and this was the late 80s.
admiting i was snobing them then
everyone was saving to own a pair and it thought this pathetic, so i never practically joined in the 'trend'

their latest revival is both a manifestation of the 'i-dont-care-about-your-trends-i-just-love-looking-ridiculous' and a subconsious nostalgia for 'uncool retro nostalgia' which is fine with me and reflects a very healthy need for reaction to the dictatorship of the 'comme il faut' trend/esthetic mainstream standards

bad news is that celebrities got 'by accident' the joke and since the trend is being embraced by the 'in crowd' the 'joke' is eventually turning to a 'new must', exactly to what it was created to ..ridicule

as a result, 'ridiculous' is reaching 'trendy/fashionable' status once again, which manifests the eternal socio-trend domino
setting aside the 'esthetic' issue, i find the 'development' of trends and their mechanical manipulation, absolutely fascinating

some people can take a 'joke-trend' seriously and consumers counter-react in bringing the 'joke-trend' to a 'must-trend' status

as for the sunglasses, i still find them 'not for me' the same way i did 20 years ago..
will i wear them?
well, i do own both a 'small-female' and a 'large-male' ''wayfarers" versions by 'Persol' usless left overs from early editorial jobs in the '80s.. i never wore them and my bfs negleted them even on 'emergency-sunglasses' days, so they stayed untouched for eons
i might as well wear them one of these days, if they fit my mood and my outfit

i'll join in the general 'this is the new/old uncool/cool sunglasses' mood, just because i'd like to communicate the 'proud to be a ridicule'/'this is essential' experience for purely 'socio-scientific' reasons
